Weighted Average

Hi, I am trying to find a way to calculate a weighted average weight per month considering the weight and volume per item per month per plant. For some reason, I cannot manage to make a measure that only adds the volume sold per month per plant. Hence, I am missing my denominator when calculation the weighted average % (item volume for the month/total volume of the month).

 

After, I will use that percentage and multiply it by the weight of each item. The sum of that new column would be the weighted average weight per month per plant. 

 

I would appreciate if someone could provide some guidance. I am fairly new in the Power BI software, and haven't manage a way to replicate what I am able to do on Excel. 

 

Looking forward to hearing from you!

 

** Ignore the errors in the pivot table. I do not know why I am getting those. Use month 2 as an example.

@Ashish_Mathur 

 

Thanks a lot Ashish this helps! I am just wondering can the denominator calculation be built as a measure instead? I have been told that the adding column feature run slowlier than a measurement. 

 

Looking forward to hearing from you!

 

Thanks again!

You are welcome.  That will take a ot of time.  Please plug in your actual data here and let me know whether everything is working fine for you or not.
